  • Testing the new system is used mostly to find out what works correctly and what can be improved
  • The testing strategy is done in two parts; the Alpha test and the Beta test
    • The Alpha Test
      • Testing inside the designing company
      • Searches for bugs in the new system
      • Checks that new system works the way the designer wants it to
      • Checks that data is inputted correctly
        • Looks at how the new system reacts to abnormal and extreme data
        • Looks that the data is taken in by the new system correctly
    • Checks that the output data is correct
    • Find out what can be improved by the test results
  • The Beta test
    • The new system is tested within the firm to find out if it is better than the previous system
    • Collects feedback from users of the previous system
    • Searches for bugs do to daily and repetitive use
    • Searches for what can be done to improve the new system so that it is better than the previous if the test fails
